TWIA National Winner!

10 years ago

Ok, my wife has reminded me that my head may start becoming a problem for the door frame soon so I'll keep this brief.

Last night I was delighted and genuinely shocked to scoop the big prize... The Wedding Industry Awards Videographer of the Year 2014. This is as big as it gets in the wedding awards world and I am beyond thrilled. I was surprised when I won the regional prize to make it to the top 7 in the country so you can imagine how low my draw dropped when I then won the national award!

Now that I am out of the competition I am able to read the comments that past couples wrote on their voting forms in the first stage of the judging.. this is something I have been looking forward to for months and I am really touched to read your kind words. Sadly the comments are anonymous so I don't know who wrote what exactly but there are 7 pages of head inflating comments like those below that I will treasure.

A huge and genuine THANK YOU to all of you that voted.

“Our DVD is better than perfect and we have received so many positive comments from everyone that has seen it. Rideout were professional, friendly, well presented & so subtle when filming that we forgot they were there! David's filming and editing is amazing - He is simply genius at what he does!”

“I struggle to find the words to express my gratitude to David who filmed our wedding. He melded into the background on the day, he was not at all intrusive. I am astounded at the quality of his work. Just watching our video brings back so many amazing memories & a (happy) tear to my eye.”

“The finished trailer and video that I received from Rideout were truly outstanding. The quality of the end product was beyond my wildest dreams. Everyone we have shown have said how breathtaking it is. And working with Rideout from start to finish was an absolute pleasure. Worth every penny!”

“On the day they were friendly, hard working and fitted in like they were part of the wedding party. We barely realised we were being filmed. The full wedding video is incredible. Your passion for what you do really does come across in the video. Excellent customer service from first contact.”

“By far the most incredible memories of our day were captured by David and his team. They are incredibly professional and relax during filming whilst David manages to put ou at ease straight whilst taking it seriously too. is film was extremely well edited and beautifully filmed. hey must be awarded”

“We were delighted with the service we received from Rideout, of all the suppliers for our wedding day he was the most helpful and communicative. Nothing was too much trouble and the end result was beautiful, it is a film we will always treasure. He has a real passion and skill which shines through.”

“We were guests at a friends wedding about 3 years ago and Rideout filmed their day. We were so impressed with their DVD that after my husband proposed and we had chosen our venue, Rideout were the first booking for our own wedding! We met Dave beforehand to discuss requirements and music choices and knew immediately that we would be pleased with his work. He was all about making sure we got what WE wanted and gave very honest and valuable guidance and suggestions to us throughout our consultation. We would highly recommend Rideout to anyone we know who is getting married!”

“Because I wanted the best for my wedding day. Without hesitation I knew David would deliver it for us!!! Our video blue us away and we are so lucky that we have something of such exceptional quality that we can look back on regularly and remember our special day. We will treasure our video forever."

“Having watched a number of samples of his work, we knew we\'d love what he could do with our day. From the first point of contact he was extremely prompt at replying and went above and beyond the other people we enquired with. He was also extremely respectful of the fact that it was our special day, we have found him to be extremely obliging.”

“we wanted some humour in our wedding video and for it to be completely different to everyone else's. They 100% accomplished this and I watch the video at least once a month as it is so amazing. They captured absolutely every part of the day and I didn't even notice they were there. I have recommended them to everyone and everyone is amazed when they see the video. They definitely deserve to win!!”

“The quality of his work and his passion for what he does. He knows how special your wedding day is and he treats the build up and the day itself like he would his own wedding day. Both David and Adam were really amazing on our wedding day. They fitted in like all our guests and were so professional that they put you at ease and were extremely easy to talk to"

“Examples of their work blew us away. Every film was full of fun and emotion. The filming and editing is the quality of a blockbuster movie. Their choice of unknown music simply adds to the class and individuality. We didn't hesitate to book - the best investment we could've made. We now watch film over and over again and will treasure it forever”
